"Easter represents a time of renewal and rejuvenation and many of our guests look forward to sharing this holiday celebration together," said Don Evans, Executive Director. "With Spring in the air and a new sense of hope, it can be very healing for families to connect and for many; we are the only family that they have."
The meal will consist of 1000 lbs. of turkey, 800 lbs. of potatoes, 350 lbs. of stuffing, 300 lbs. of vegetables, 35 gallons of gravy, 65 lbs. of cranberry sauce, 175 apple pies with whipped cream and 1500 cups of coffee.
